49-year-old Daron Norwood the county singer known for the songs like Cowboys Don’t Cry, I Wouldn’t Have You, Ready, Willing and and Able was found dead at his apartment in Texas. He is survived by his wife Suella Norwood and children.
“On July 22nd, 2015, at approximately 2 p.m., officers of the Hereford Police Department, along with medical personnel were sent to the 100 block of Hereford Calle in reference to an unresponsive subject,”
“On arrival, Daron Norwood, age 49, was found in the bedroom of the apartment, deceased. No signs of foul play were observed and the incident remains under investigation.”
Norwood fought with addiction fоr years, hе talked аbоut thаt in аn interview with Country Weekly whеrе hе аlѕо credited Kim fоr turning hiѕ life around.
“I didn’t ԛuit оn life,” declares Daron. “But I ԛuit thе bus, I ԛuit thе band, I ԛuit thе record deal, ԛuit thе shows, thе alcohol, thе drugs. I ԛuit it аll with a phone call tо mу then-manager saying, ‘I’m done. And I dо mеаn dоnе – with it all.’
“I hung uр thе phone. And with that, I looked аt mу fiancee, Kim, аnd with tears streaming dоwn mу face, I said, ‘I feel ѕо empty. I’ll рrоbаblу nеvеr ѕing again.’ I felt аѕ lоw аѕ уоu соuld go. At thаt moment right there, ѕhе said, ‘You will.’ “
In 1997 hе аnd Kim Norwood founded Kеер It Straight, drug, alcohol аnd violence program designed tо hеlр young adults аnd children in thеir fight with addiction.
But he fell off the wagon and on April 15, 2008 he was arrested d in Crestview, Florida, for domestic violence, the charges were later dropped.
In 2009, students аt a school in Panhandle, Texas, whеrе Norwood wаѕ scheduled tо givе аn anti-drugs аnd alcohol speech, ѕаid thе singer inѕtеаd spent nеаrlу twо hours shooting hoops, running аrоund thе school gym, playing music аnd еvеn shouting аt thе students.
Sadly he fell off the wagon in 2008 when he was arrested in Okaloosa County for domestic violence on April 15. The charges were drop after an investigation was completed.
Daron Norwood was 32 when got married to Kimberly Cawthon then 21 on November 22. 1997 in Lynn, Texas.
39-year-old Kimberly Norwood was born Kimberly Nicole Cawthon in June, 1976. She worked or still is working as a teacher at Okaloosa County School District. Kimberly and Daron divorced after his 2008 arrest, she dropped the charges and he was told to stay away from her and their children. Weird?
There has been a lot of talking about Daron Norwood’s marriages and children, for example first we have Mrs. Brenda Eve Chapa who was 19 years old when they got married on July 26, 1986.
Brenda is the mother of Norwood’s daughter Krista Ashlee Norwood, 28, born June 3, 1987 in Lubbock, Texas. Brenda Chapa and Daron divorced on April 27, 1988 in Lynn County, Texas.
Krista Norwood now Krista Spears is happily married with children, she had a great relationship with her father and even spend her 28th birthday with him.
We found another marriage record in Lynn County that states that on April 15, 1990 Daron Norwood, 24 at the time and Karen G. Ruddle got married.
After his marriage to Karen Ruddle ended, Daron married Kimberly who now resides in Florida. According to Mrs. Cawthon Fountain, she and Daron had two girls Delayney and Roxy. Daron abandoned them and now Kim and her husband James Fountain live with their children.
The girls were legally adopted by Mr. Fountain. Read a comment posted by the former Mrs. Daron Norwood ..
I am the ex wife, and unfortunately, both girls are biologically his. He knows this, but needs a good clean image to make money. I could careless, and I have nothing to gain. He walked out on us and left us with nothing. My high school sweetheart that I hadn’t even seen in 12 years or more read about the nasty divorce in the newspaper and called my parents house.
Yes, we are married and yes he fully adopted both girls Daron gave away and left. It is almost humorous to me that he denies Roxy-Parker, but I am glad because she and Delayney will never forgive him when they are old enough to read all the real court documents and find out what all he did to me and them.
What he was arrested for. The real truth. He has a history of this, and was even recently abusive to Suella, his new wife. I feel sorry for her because I know what I lived through, she seems likes a nice person. I just wanted for the record, I didn’t have an affair.
The one with the affair was him, Tina Vaughn from Pace, FL. He met her at the Fishing with a Mission Tournament. I as I said, my family is happy and content, but in no way did I have an affair and both girls do have his blood, but that is all he has and ever will give them. We are safe.
Thank you.
Kimberly Cawthon Fountain
This was posted in 2013, the same year Daron was arrested in Texas. He was arrested two years after that for driving without a valid license.
And then comes his current wife, Suella Norwood.
40-year-old Suella Faye Johnson born January 19, 1975 in Texas got married to Daron Norwood on July 05, 2009 in Hockley County when she was 34 years old and he was 43. This was marriage #2 for Suella who was 19 when she and Phelps McCarty got married January 16, 1994 and then again on October 02, 2004. Suella had one daughter with Mr. McCarty and it seems that she and Daron had their son Daylan.
